1 Lightning now India’s deadliest weather hazard (New Scientific Study) A major research published in Natural Hazards shows that lightning caused over 50,000 deaths in India (2002–2022) — higher than any other weather hazard — and calls for its formal inclusion into disaster planning and early warnings.

3 U.S. Disaster Preparedness Under Scrutiny Emergency management experts warn that significant cuts to FEMA and NOAA funding and capacity have weakened the U.S. ability to prepare for and respond to escalating climate-driven disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, and floods — limiting forecasting, resilience programs, and scientific advisory capacity. This reflects broader concerns about national disaster readiness in the face of more extreme events.

4 Resilience Pays: Investing and Financing for Our Future The global cost of disasters is growing: The economic burden of disasters is intensifying. While the direct costs of disasters averaged $70–80 billion a year between 1970 and 2000, between 2001 and 2020 these annual costs grew significantly to $180–200 billion.

But the real cost is far higher.

Disaster costs now exceed over $2.3 trillion annually when cascading and ecosystem costs are taken into account. The Global Assessment Report (GAR) 2025: Resilience Pays: Financing and Investing for our Future highlights how smarter investment can re-set the destructive cycle of disasters, debt, un-insurability and humanitarian need that threatens a climate-changed world.
